My old Saturn is lost somewhere in Japan and I may never see it again. So I bit the bullet and jumped back in with a new HST-0001, feels good to be back. Ordered two copies of Macross by accident:

Great appreciation of those SMT PS2 games, hella bouncy, maps & dungeons-wise.

Sega Dreamcast - Mode
I decided to give the TerraOnion Mode a shot in my Dreamcast - the dreamcast on a system I like very much but have always thought it was really noisy . Its nice to play games without hearing all the noisy laser sound . All in all I am happy with it . Its a quick swap to put the working laser back in the system .

Just SMB 1,2J, ball, and a clock (but no alarm), but the d-pad is excellent and game response feels dead on. Buttons are pretty much G&W rubber buttons, which work well and feel true to the original handhelds. Some nice bells and whistles, as well. It also adds the ability to choose from hard and normal modes after beating SMB1.

Looks pretty cute.

I just got Raiden Fighters Aces on the Xbox 360, & it's a great compilation of the Raiden Fighters games. Raiden Fighters 2 was my childhood!! The case was
damaged a bit though, but who cares. I also got Paul Oakenfold's Tranceport and Enigma's The Fall of a Rebel Angel, and both of them are awesome albums.

Black Friday haul:
My friend's a huge SW fan and said Squadrons is good(and has fleet battles!). I only got Spidey for Black Cat action, and Persona 2 is pretty okay I guess.

Picked this up on release day last week. It's good!

I've bought quite a few kickass 1st press '80s metal vinyls in the last 2 months (maybe I'll list them in another post).
But I gotta say, I damn near had a heart attack when I found this locally for cheap.

Beautiful sleeve illustration! That's the best depiction I've seen of Elta, his in-game pic doesn't quite get the insouciant warrior mage thing.

Yeah, the new ML artwork is basically the "I've been practicing this game for two weeks straight" Elta.
While classic ML art is more like the "after ten tries I still can't figure out the stage 1 skeleton pattern derpdy derp" Elta.

You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.

Multi-console/computer FPGA hardware simulator. Wide range of systems from c64 to NeoGeo. TG-16/PC Engine core FTW! Some cores are better than others, though. Was disappointed that the Centipede core has incorrect colors and doesn't support mouse/trackball. I also like how the system has 1000Hz polling for wired controllers.Stevens wrote:I have seen that before I think..

Very cool. Enjoy it.

New mouse acquired! Last time I bought a new mouse that wasn't just a small cheap one for a laptop/netbook was in Japan, summer of 2007. Now I finally have a scroll wheel that works again and a left mouse button that isn't super fucky.

Cuisinart Digital Airfryer (Christmas Gift):
Airfryer is marketing speak for convection oven, and I've been wanting a convection oven for years because for many items it's that missing difference between restaurant-quality and home-oven-quality.
I just took it through an un-glamorous maiden voyage with a box of Annie's pizza rolls on the frozen food setting. Night and day difference from the oven, they didn't come out limp and moist, they were crisp, the flavor was superior, and it took way less time.

Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.
An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.
Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Damn, that thing looks perfect for soldering SMD components.
Re: Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)
Picked up one of those single-player Pandora Box things. Actually pleasantly surprised, I'd heard a bunch of horror stories, but the stick and buttons are actually really nice (certainly on par with the Neo ASP I own), and although the game list is filled with a bunch of duplicates, there's still a good 1000+ titles. Handy for test-driving any future AA releases.
My Astro City mini also landed, though I'm somewhat bummed to find out it only works with the dedicated pad. The on-controls are actually decent-ish, but for huge hands like mine it's still pretty cramped. Death Adder seems nice though.

Not entirely accurate, it also works with the Megadrive Mini controller IF it's the six-button one. Some Youtube video said it worked with their JP Mini's controller, and I just tested my Asian-version Mini's controller which also works.Marc wrote:My Astro City mini also landed, though I'm somewhat bummed to find out it only works with the dedicated pad.

Now that we're on topic, one thing I really appreciate about the Astro City Mini was that the devs had the foresight to map autofire on one of the extra buttons on the controller, on the games where it makes sense with the button that makes sense. Good stuff. I'm still going through the games and just messing around to see which ones I want to dedicate more time to.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Ah, my MD is the UK version, tried it just in case but no go. Shame. Gonne be an expensive toy by the time I pick up the pad, but I need Rad Mobile and Death Adder on the TV.

My old phone was acting up, so I got a Moto G8 Power. Nothing super high-end, but very good for the price.

It is lovely. I can't get enough of these job site radios & boomboxes yet. Been doing some serious boomboxin' with them on Saturdays & nightshifts at work lately.
Couldn't be bothered unboxing it for nearly two months, and since unboxed, I've used it almost exclusively as a portable radio. Watched an anime opening on YouTube earlier on using it for the sake of trying it out, and that was my deal's worth of smartphonisation so far. The very idea of taking internet with me everywhere I go - freakin' bizarre, to me. Internet as I know it is not THAT interesting anymore.

Re: Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)
I like how you can pause a gaming session of SMB1 or SMB2 & power it down for the night. Upon powering it back up, you can resume where you last off. How cool is that? Plus if you don't touch the controls for a specified time, the G&W handheld will turn itself off to conserve the internal 3.7v lipo battery. Pretty slick piece of portable gaming handheld tech indeed.BrianC wrote:

Reminds me of Red House Painters in a way (I realise that Wipers are The Daddy, chronologically, in this case).
